#1923 (#187)

sugar, hyperpop, 

dancing the whole night away

liberated, free

#1922

this son, like my girl,

can’t stop thinking about you

you have to go on

From words on page 79 of Chicken with Plums by Marjane Satrapi (Jonathan Cape, 2006).

#1921 (#186)

knock him off his horse

this old altisonant bore

mute him as we are

#1920

helpless insane nights

returning and cowering

people distant, small

From words on page 80 of The Word for World is Forest by Ursula K. Le Guin (Gollancz, 1972/1976/2022).

#1919 (#185)

at the festival

all eyes on vejigante

all ready to dodge

#1918 (#184)

the money musk dance

on the floor and in the air

familiar beats

#1917 (#183)

the beach, buss up shut,

an ice cold bottle of beer…

all those Trini dreams!
